Melbourne’s market has gone from strength to strength in the last few years. Property price growth and sustained rental demand has been spurred on by high levels of population growth.

When it comes to investing in property, there are many questions that need answering. Undoubtedly the most important one is ‘Where should I invest?’ That is, where should you invest a large sum of money that has the potential to make a significant impact on your financial position. We often speak about investing where the opportunities are, which could mean searching well outside the area you live in. The reality is that for the average Australian their understanding of the property market doesn’t go much further than the suburb they live in.

The 1992 film Romper Stomper paints a very insightful picture of a cultural melting pot suburb in inner Melbourne named Footscray. The film itself follows the working-class tensions between neo Nazis and local minorities of Vietnamese heritage. Footscray’s reputation didn’t improve much into the new millennium, carrying with it a reputation of violence, crime and squalor.

When reading headlines about the property market, you’ll usually find them targeting a region or city rather than considering the merits of one suburb to the next, or even one property to the next, which is how the Blue Wealth Property research model is structured. In our micro research two integral parts are ‘Design’ and ‘Amenity’, but if you find the best growth areas do these elements really matter?

At Blue Wealth, we’re all about minimising your risks and seeking the best value opportunities for you. One of our points of difference is the incentives we negotiate for our clients, the most common being a rental guarantee. I’m often asked how a rental guarantee works, so I thought I’d break it down for you. I will also show you how selecting the right property can increase your rent.

I don’t normally have anything nice to say about media reports on property markets. They’re too often sensationalistic, offer little in terms of balance and would rather stoke fear as opposed to offering truth. The 60 Minutes report on housing affordability last weekend, however, was a refreshing change.

There’s one thing that’s been notably absent from property market commentary recently: demand. Now, you wouldn’t find it hard to dig up an article or two (per day that is) on property supply. Its economic counterpart, however, is often nowhere to be found.

Our good friends at CoreLogic released a brief report yesterday on the best and worst performing local government areas in Australia over the past two decades. Of the 25 best performing, 17 were in Victoria. At an average of 10% per annum, price growth in these regions was close to twice the combined capital city figure. Click here for a link to the report.

As you may be aware, the much-anticipated arrival of Daniel Joseph’s son has left him out of action and left me to deliver some controversial news!

As the end of the year approaches, I’d like to reflect on an important decision the research team made at the beginning of 2016. Many of you reading this would be aware that we are now recommending new house and land opportunities in the growth corridors of both Brisbane and Melbourne. In mid-2014, a number of once rural regions were opened to development. With some of the relevant infrastructure now in place, these regions became a significant research focus.
